i dnt get it sum times, how do you have more "hangtime", is it jumping ability or what

[johhnywave]

Pretty much the higher you can jump, the longer hangtime you have. I am sure if you are flailing all over the place then it will cut your hangtime as your momentum takes a shot. Although I swear some people just stay in the air longer like Jordan and "Clyde the Glide". Scientist also say that it's physically impossible to stay in the air for longer than a second if you are jumping manually. Again, I swear guys like Jordan have been in the air for slightly longer.

Not Jordan, but an example:

sweet thanks mate, its just when i watch vids like t-dub has great hang time, he just stays in mid air

[Camel-man]

air up there and golden child have hangtime and they can stay in the air for longer than a second i dont care wat scientists ssy they have never seen those 2

im sure scientists that study hang time have seen some crazy athletes.
hang time is just the amount of time you "hang" in the air.
i guess if your smaller i.e tdub and you can jump real high you will have greater hangtime then say a 7 foot person.
